Resident doctors in Maharashtra postponed their agitation for a hike in stipend on Thursday in view of the floods following heavy rains in some parts of the state, saying they do not want patients to suffer.
Members of the Maharashtra Association of Resident Doctors (MARD) began their protest at the Azad Maidan here on Wednesday.
They earlier said over 4,000 resident doctors from 16 medical colleges across the state would be participating in the strike from Thursday.
However, in view of the grim flood situation in the state, they postponed their agitation on Thursday.
